I was very restrained and it's NOT links to every Lounge Kittens song ever

[spindizzy]

• Party Like It's 1920 by The Swinghoppers and Wolfgang Lohr — People on the internet: Yeah, let's bring back the 20s!
  World: Cool, so that's a pandemic, a recession, global conflict, and high mortality rates, right?
  People: ... We just... Wanted to dance to jazz music and wear cool clothes...


• Hey Mario by Patent Pending — I'm playing a Mario game, which obviously means that I'm going to be spending the forseeable future with this stuck in my head!


• Gloryhole by Lounge Kittens — This one goes out to whichever genius wrote this advice on having sex in a pandemic.


• Godhunter by Aviators — In retrospect, a song about the daughter of death going around killing gods was always going to be my thing, I don't know why I'm surprised.


• Land of Make-Believe by allSTARS — You ever find yourself going "Surely I can't be remembering this song from my childhood correctly!" and google tells you that no, you were right the first time? Yeah, that.


• Upside Down by A*Teens — Yeah, that!


• Inferno by Hiroyuki Sawano, Benjamin, and mpi — I CAN ACTUALLY BUY A COPY OF PROMARE NOW THE PROMISED DAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


• Bad Apple (Metal cover) by RichaadEB and Cristina Vee — I know literally nothing about the Touhou franchise apart from "Bullet hell game" + "Maybe there's gay magical girls?" + THIS SONG.


• Bad MagiApple — And this is mash-up that I only recently realised was actually Bad Apple? It's a mash-up with Magia from the Madoka Magica soundtrack, and sounds like a fight-scene if ever there was one.

And on the lo-fi front, I've found a channel that does "Lo-fi for [supernatural being]" mixes, and so far it's been the right degree of occupying but not distracting! Their Lo-fi for Witches video is the one that worked pretty well for me last week, and Lo-fi for Ghosts is working today!

... In unrelated news, has the Dreamwidth team actually updated the beta create entry page for the first time in a decade?!

Thank you for reminding me of that 'Bad Apple' metal cover! I heard it a while back and loved it, but I'd forgotten it existed. It made paying my council tax extremely cool just now.

It's so hardcore, it's really motivating! :D

Thanks for the music links, I came looking and you have awesome taste :D "Godhunter" made me think SO MUCH of Roz Kaveney's Rhapsody of Blood - one of the main characters is a godhunter who lives all through history killing gods, and humans trying to become gods by murdering other people.
